Two boys are trying to solve 17+36=?
John: First, I break apart 17 and add 10+36 and get 46. Then I add 7 with 46 and get the answer.
Tom: First, I break apart 17 and 36. Then I add 10+30 and get 40. Next I add 7 and 6 and I get the answer.
Which one has the correct equation?

Respuesta :

Tom because you just subtracted the 7 from 17 and got 10 and 6 from 36 and got 30
